A delightful and comfortable way to enjoy the world’s greatest railway journey on board of the world famous Golden Eagle train, bringing European luxury to the heart of Siberia. As well as Moscow, Russia’s vibrant capital, we will stop at Yekaterinburg – where the Romanoffs were executed, Kazan, with its beautiful Kremlin, the ‘Paris of Siberia’ at Irkutsk and Ulan Ude, capital of the Buryat Republic. We will also stop at Lake Baikal, to visit a traditional fishing village – and enjoy a barbeque at the water’s edge. As another highlight, our train will branch off the Trans-Siberian main line to take a trip into Mongolia for a visit to the capital, Ulaan Baatar, before we return to Russia for the remainder of the trip. In Vladivostok we will have time to explore and tour around this rarely visited city, which until recently was completely closed to foreigners.
A particular delight of the Golden Eagle is two beautifully appointed restaurant cars, where our chefs serve carefully prepared meals using only the finest local ingredients. Whether it be the world renowned ‘Borsch’, caviar or Omul – a fish unique to Lake Baikal – we offer a culinary experience representing the very best of Russian cuisine. The meals are accompanied by wines from around the world, as well as by, naturally, vodka. The Trans-Siberian Express tours take a leisurely two weeks for the journey, ensuring that you have time to take in and enjoy this voyage of a lifetime. Who said that being adventurous cannot also be luxurious?
